States with the Most Miserable Housing Markets

 February 29, 2012

 

3. Arizona
> Housing misery index: 55.0
> Home price decline from peak: 47.9% (2nd largest decrease)
> Projected home price change (Q3 2011 – Q3 2012): -7.2% (3rd largest decrease)
> Unemployment (Dec. 2011): 8.7% (15th highest)

 

Arizona also went through a period of significant overbuilding that has left its housing market hurting. Since home prices peaked in the state, they have fallen by 47.9% — the second largest amount in the country. The excess inventory of inexpensive housing is expected to continue to depress prices for some time. Prices are projected to drop another 7.2% from the third quarter of 2011 to the third quarter of 2012 — the third largest decrease in the nation. According to Trulia, Phoenix, Arizona’s largest metropolitan area, has one of the highest vacancy rates in the country, at 10.1%.
